FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

Forward-looking statements

This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this presentation that

address activities, events or developments that Enviva Partners, LP (NYSE: EVA) (“Enviva,” the “Partnership,” “we,” or “us”) expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future

are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “estimates,” “will,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” or other similar expressions are

intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-

looking.

These statements are based on certain assumptions made by Enviva based on management’s expectations and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future

developments, and other factors believed to be appropriate. Although Enviva believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because assumptions are inherently subject

to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond its control, Enviva cannot give assurance that it will achieve or accomplish these

expectations, beliefs, or intentions. A number of the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond

the control of Enviva, and may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include the

factors discussed or referenced in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-

Q most recently filed with the SEC, including those risks relating to financial performance and results, economic conditions and resulting capital restraints, availability of sufficient capital

to execute Enviva’s business plan, the ability of Enviva to complete acquisitions and realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions, impact of compliance with legislation and

regulations, the continued impact of COVID-19, and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. When considering the forward-looking

statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in such filings.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which such statement is made, and Enviva undertakes no obligation to

correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. All forward-looking statements

attributable to Enviva are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

ENVIVA: FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE, DISPLACING COAL,1 GROWING MORE TREES2

1) Increasing the share of biomass on the global grid system is critical to the global energy transition. International Renewable Energy Agency’s “World Energy Transitions Outlook: 1.5○C Pathway (Preview)” report calls for the share of modern biomass for energy generation

to increase from 3% in 2018 to 18% in 2050, and the share of coal for energy generation to decrease from 11% to 2% over the same period; 2) Landowners in the US South respond to strong markets for forest products by making investments in their forests and there is a

clear positive relationship between rates of forest harvest and forest acreage, growth, and inventory. Based on FIA data for the US South covering the 70-year period since 1953, Forest2Market concluded that “Increased demand for wood … encouraged landowners to invest

in productivity improvements that dramatically increased the amount of wood fiber, and therefore the amount of carbon, contained in the South’s forests.” Source: Forest2Market report, “Historical Perspective on the Relationship between Demand and Forest Productivity in

the US South”, July 2017; 3) Eurostat. Inland coal consumption in key European countries that Enviva serves; 4) Industrial wood pellet demand for Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands and U nited Kingdom. Hawkins Wright: The Outlook for Wood Pellets – Demand, Supply,

1) Enviva estimates; 2) Source: Union Pacific; 3) Aurora Energy Research – Biomass conversions & the system cost of renewables (November 2016). Total System Cost of Electricity (TSCE) is the per-megawatt hour cost of building and operating a generating plant over an

assumed financial life including intermittency, security of supply, balancing, grid expansion, and heat adjustment (applicable for CHP only). Data is for Germany and may not be representative of all the markets in which we or our customers operate. CHP is Combined Heat &

Power. Expansion costs are related to the electricity grid only. New build CCGT could require gas grid expansions, the cost of which is not included here; 4) IHS Markit: Levelized Cost of Power Generation in Japan, May 8, 2017. Costs are presented in real terms, as of 2020.

In contrast to TSCE, Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) does not include the intermittency costs associated with wind and solar power. LCOE for Dedicated Biomass assumes biomass wood-burning power plants with 112 MW of capacity and 40% efficiency; 5) Boundless

Between 2010, when Enviva opened its first U.S. plant, and

2019, forest inventory in our supply base increased by more

than 400 million metric tons

“An industry that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions,

increase forest growth, and create jobs sounds too good to be true. But that is

the reality of the emerging wood pellet market in the Southern U.S.”¹

Organic Growth within

the Partnership

THREE PILLARS OF GROWTH

▪ Pricing increases and escalators under existing

contracted position

▪ Construction of 400,000 MTPY aggregate

production capacity expansion completed at

Northampton and Southampton plants

▪ ~$130 million investment and ~$28-$32

million in expected incremental adjusted

EBITDA annually1,3

▪ On track to expand Greenwood to 600,000

MTPY production capacity by year-end 2021

▪ Expansion projects underway at the Sampson,

Hamlet, and Cottondale plants

▪ ~$50 million expected investment and ~$20

million in expected incremental run rate

adjusted EBITDA annually2,3

▪ Anticipated annual organic growth driven by

contract price escalations, cost reductions and

productivity improvements

1) The estimated incremental adjusted EBITDA that can be expected from the expansions is based on an internal financial analysis of the anticipated benefit from the incremental production capacity at the Northampton and Southampton production plants;

2) The estimated incremental adjusted EBITDA that can be expected from the expansions is based on an internal financial analysis of the anticipated benefit from the incremental production capacity and cost savings at our wood pellet production plants in Sampson, NC

(the “Sampson plant”), Hamlet, NC (the “Hamlet plant”), and Cottondale, FL (the “Cottondale plant”), subject to receiving the necessary permits. The Partnership expects to complete the expansion projects by the end of 2022;

3) For an explanation of why we are unable to reconcile the estimated adjusted EBITDA for the Mid-Atlantic Expansions and the Multi-Plant Expansions to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see Appendix;

4) Although we expect to have the opportunity to acquire assets or completed development projects and associated contracts from our sponsor in the future, we cannot assure you that our sponsor will be successful in completing their development projects or that we

will successfully negotiate an agreement with our sponsor to acquire such assets, projects, or associated contracts

▪ Five drop-downs since IPO, including 2.3 million

MTPY of production capacity and 3.0 million

MTPY of terminaling capacity

▪ Construction of the fully contracted Lucedale

plant and the Pascagoula terminal

▪ Development of the fully contracted wood pellet

production plant in Epes, Alabama

▪ Announced development of a site in Bond,

Mississippi for a potential new plant

▪ Evaluation of additional sites for pellet production

plants and deep-water marine export terminals

across the U.S. Southeast to serve the balance of

the $5.5 billion in current long-term contracted

demand at our sponsor, which is complemented

by material contract volumes under negotiation

with utilities and power generators in current and

evolving markets around the globe

▪ Proven, successful, and selective acquirer

▪ Acquisitions must compare favorably to sponsor

development pipeline and drop-down economics

▪ Target opportunities must be core to the

business and bring new customer set, strategic

capability and / or geographic diversification

▪ The Partnership acquired the Cottondale plant in

January 2015 and the Waycross plant in July

2020

▪ Our sponsor acquired the Greenwood plant in

2018. The Partnership acquired the Greenwood

plant from our sponsor in 2020

VISIBLE GROWTH

1) This chart is for illustrative purposes and consists of estimates based on numerous assumptions made by us that are inherently uncertain and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. There

can be no assurance that any of the estimates may prove to be correct. Actual results may differ materially; 2) As of April 28, 2021, the Partnership expects full-year 2021 net income to be in the range of $42.3 million to $62.3 million and adjusted EBITDA to be in the

range of $230.0 million to $250.0 million. The guidance amounts do not include the impact of any additional acquisitions by the Partnership from our sponsor or third parties; 3) The estimated incremental adjusted EBITDA that can be expected from the Mid-Atlantic

Expansions and the Multi-Plant Expansions is based on an internal financial analysis of the anticipated benefit from the incremental production capacity and cost savings at these production plants. For an explanation of why we are unable to reconcile the estimated adjusted

EBITDA for the Mid-Atlantic Expansions and the Multi-Plant Expansions to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see Appendix; 4) The estimated range of incremental adjusted EBITDA for Greenwood and Waycross plants is $56-$60 million in 2024 after

the completion of the Greenwood expansion and the delivery of full volumes under the 1.4 million MTPY of contracts assigned. Refer to Appendix for additional details; 5) The estimated incremental adjusted EBITDA from a drop-down of a wood pellet production plant or a

marine terminal represents the run-rate adjusted EBITDA that can be expected from such a facility, based on estimated production or terminaling capacity of such a facility upon achieving full run-rate and our sponsor’s existing contracts that may be associated with such a

facility. Refer to Appendix for additional details. The sequence of the drop-down transactions is for illustrative purposes only and subject to change. Although we expect to have the opportunity to acquire assets or completed development projects, including the Lucedale

plant, the Epes plant, and the Pascagoula terminal, from our sponsor in the future, we cannot assure you that our sponsor will be successful in completing their development projects or that we will successfully negotiate an agreement with our sponsor to acquire such

assets or projects

NO MATERIAL IMPACT FROM COVID-191 PANDEMIC

◼ Number one priority is to ensure the health and well-being of our employees and the communities in which we operate

◼ Enhanced plans, procedures, and measures are in place to mitigate the risk of exposure and to make our work environment as safe as

possible for continued operations

◼ We operate a portfolio of nine geographically dispersed wood pellet production plants

◼ Our business supplies essential fuel to our customers under long-term, take-or-pay off-take contracts that our customers use for baseload heat

and power generation

◼ Most of our current deliveries are to Europe, where they fuel grid-critical baseload for dispatchable generation facilities that provide power and

heat required by their local communities. There are few substitutes or alternatives to the fuel we supply our customers

◼ In the U.S., government-issued guidance identifies biomass as one of the industries essential to the continued critical infrastructure viability,

and this guidance has been followed by states where our plants and terminals are located, meaning our operations remain largely unaffected

by the governmental actions taken in response to COVID-19

◼ Although EVA’s operational and financial results have not been materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the full implications of the

novel coronavirus are not yet known

— Plants, ports, and supply chains both domestically and internationally continue to operate uninterrupted on 24x7 basis

— Each of our customers is in compliance with their agreements with us, including payment terms

◼ If needed, we have contingency and business continuity plans in place that we believe would mitigate the impact of potential business

disruptions

2021 GUIDANCE

1) As of April 28, 2021, the Partnership reaffirmed its full-year 2021 net income to be in the range of $42.3 million to $62.3 million, adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $230.0 million to $250.0 million, and distributable cash flow to be in the range of $160.0 million to

$180.0 million, prior to any distributions attributable to incentive distribution rights. The Partnership expects to distribute at least $3.17 per common unit for full-year 2021, before considering the benefit of any acquisitions or drop-down transactions, and to target a

distribution coverage ratio of 1.20 times on a forward-looking annual basis. The guidance amounts provided above do not include the impact of any additional acquisitions by the Partnership from our sponsor or third parties;

This presentation contains certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States

(“GAAP”). Although they should not be considered alternatives to the GAAP presentation of the financial results of the Partnership, management views such non-

GAAP measures as important to reflect the Partnership’s actual performance during the periods presented.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to presenting our financial results in accordance with GAAP, we use adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA,

and distributable cash flow to measure our financial performance.

Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin per Metric Ton

We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin excluding loss on disposal of assets, depreciation and amortization, changes in unrealized derivative

instruments related to hedged items included in gross margin, non-cash unit compensation expenses, and acquisition and integration costs and other, adjusting

for the effect of Commercial Services, and including MSA Fee Waivers. We define adjusted gross margin per metric ton as adjusted gross margin per metric ton

of wood pellets sold. We believe adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin per metric ton are meaningful measures because they compare our revenue-

generating activities to our operating costs for a view of profitability and performance on a total-dollar and a per-metric ton basis. Adjusted gross margin and

adjusted gross margin per metric ton will primarily be affected by our ability to meet targeted production volumes and to control direct and indirect costs

associated with procurement and delivery of wood fiber to our wood pellet production plants and our production and distribution of wood pellets.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), early retirement of debt

obligations, non-cash unit compensation expense, loss on disposal of assets, changes in unrealized derivative instruments related to hedged items included in

gross margin and other income and expense, and acquisition and integration costs and other, adjusting for the effect of Commercial Services, and including MSA

Fee Waivers. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by our management and other users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial

banks and research analysts, to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods or capital structure.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Page 30: Enviva Partners, LP (NYSE: EVA) Business Overview

30

Distributable Cash Flow

We define distributable cash flow as adjusted EBITDA less maintenance capital expenditures, cash income tax expenses, and interest expense net of amortization

of debt issuance costs, debt premium, original issue discounts, and the impact from incremental borrowings related to the Chesapeake Incident and Hurricane

Events. We use distributable cash flow as a performance metric to compare our cash-generating performance from period to period and to compare the cash-

generating performance for specific periods to the cash distributions (if any) that are expected to be paid to our unitholders. We do not rely on distributable cash

flow as a liquidity measure.

Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income, adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, and distributable cash flow are not financial measures

presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors in assessing

our financial condition and results of operations. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable

GAAP financial measures. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool because they exclude some, but not all,

items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider adjusted net income, adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross

margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, or distributable cash flow in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

The estimated incremental adjusted EBITDA that can be expected from the Mid-Atlantic and Multi-Plant Expansions is based on an internal financial analysis of

the anticipated benefit from the incremental production capacity and cost savings at the Northampton, Southampton, Sampson, Hamlet, and Cottondale plants and

is based on numerous assumptions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Those assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to significant

business, economic, financial, regulatory, and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and amounts to differ materially from such

estimate. A reconciliation of the estimated incremental adjusted EBITDA expected to be generated by the Mid-Atlantic and Multi-Plant Expansions to the closest

GAAP financial measure, net income, is not provided because net income expected to be generated by the expansions is not available without unreasonable

effort, in part because the amount of estimated incremental interest expense related to the financing of the expansions and depreciation is not available at this

time.
